Unit scaling, squad spacing, unit clipping?
Should I stick with vanilla scaling, are there units that clip if they stand next to each other, are the 5 men a line bothersome and you want more blob like squads. Let me know.

Just wondering if anyone would like to see the units be perfectly scaled to the terrain as well. This will indeed mean that they will be very small. But something about the micro scale strategy of an EPIC style seems pretty cool to me.

At first I was expecting to see the aforementioned blobs.

However, after seeing your comments, the general 5 men squads make sense. But the line formation they take on is bothersome, in that they form up in a straight line pointing towards the enemy they fired at, instead of forming up in parallel to the enemy

i.e. they do this

instead of this, which would seem nicer

I'll look into way to make this better, because I do agree, and I found that some of the formations are straight up broken... I originally set up the column formation to fit the larger numbers into the hexes, but I think I might be able to work with blocks of 20 like this

The additional squads would add on like this:

I'll look into it.

*Edit: That didnt keep my formatting at all.....*

Basically they multiply outward and not deeper like you'd think. They basically take the same formation and multiply it to the sides so for the larger Ork Boy blobs you get a full ork blob stretching over multiple hexes that's why they look boxy.

I could just rescale all of the units to be much smaller to fit into the hexes better.

As player of Epic Armaggeddon tabletop, i would enjoy so much tiny infantry !

I'll keep that in mind XD. It's starting to look like the only option, so you could probably expect tiny guys soon.
